• An early Easter present from the Renewal Church

  Tue 08 Apr 2025

  Yesterday, Dean and Beth from the Christian Renewal Church visited Greswold to take a Y1-6 assembly about the Christian festival of Easter.  Not only that, but they brought a present with them too! 

   

  Through donations from their church, they were able to provide a chocolate Easter Egg to every single pupil in school, that's nearly 700 eggs!  What a generous donation from our local community.  Thank you for working in partnership with our school. 

   

   

  

• Language of the month for April

  Tue 08 Apr 2025

  This month's language of the month is Urdu. We have over 30 pupils in school who can speak Urdu and, after English, is Greswold's most popular first language.  Thank you to our Language Leaders who have designed such an attractive and informative poster.

  

• Greswold in action - English Schools' Football Week

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  As part of English Schools' Football Week last week, families were invited to share photos of Greswold pupils playing football out of school hours.  

   

  Here at Greswold, we always like to celebrate the interests and achievements of our pupils in and out of school so it's a pleasure to present our wonderful children doing what they like to do best! 

   

  We also held a writing competition to see who could create a Greswold chant.  This is Bryar's marvellous attempt:

   

  Greswold, Greswold, hear us cheer,

  We're the school that has no fear!

  Kick it, pass it up the field,

  We're the champions, never yield!

   

  Greswold, Greswold, watch us go,

  We're the best and we will show!

  Blue and white, we're full of might,

  Victory's ours, we'll fight, fight, fight! 

   

• Year 1 step back in time by visiting Warwick Castle!

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  On Tuesday, Year 1 visited Warwick Castle as part of their History, English and D&T learning, and what a fabulous day they had too!

   

  They visited the Conquerors' Fortress, the Kingmaker exhibition, the tower and its ramparts, the Great Hall and even watch an impressive falconry show. 

   

  They also got the chance to explore Zogland (linked to their English lessons) and the Horrible Histories Maze. 

   

  Thank you to the staff for organising such a memorable and relevant experience and thank you to the parent volunteers who also attended.  Without this additional help, it would have been near impossible to arrange such a fabulous visit, so thank you again.

• The Animal Rumble Grumble marks the return of the Y2 spring performance!

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  This week marked the return of year 2's spring performance and what a treat it was for both pupils and families.  

   

  After performing for the rest of the school in rehearsals, the children gave two memorable performances to their families on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

   

  The children's acting, dancing, narrating and singing, in particular, were so good with many parents showing their admiration at the end, giving positive feedback to staff. .

   

  Thank you to the year 2 staff for organising such a lovely experience and still being able to link it to the children's learning too! 

   

  Well done everyone.

• There's so much to learn when eating healthily!

  Wed 02 Apr 2025

  This half term, Year 3 been learning how to make a healthy salad as part of their Design and Technology lessons.

   

  However, in true Greswold style, there was so much more to be added into the 'mixing pot' of these valuable life lessons.  Not only had children been learning about staying healthy as part of their Healthy Me lessons in PSD, they also used measuring scales to accurately measure out the ingredients, thus applying their Maths learning.  Understanding and categorising foods into the different food groups along with using terms such as absorbing and dissolving demonstrated how Science was very much of their daily lives too.  Finally, the skills of peeling, grating and cutting enabled children to develop their D&T skills too.

   

  Well done children, you'll be making dinner for your families before you know it! 

   

      

  

• Year 3 and 4 pupils enjoy lunchtime football coaching, courtesy of the English Schools' Football Week!

  Tue 01 Apr 2025

  This week marked English Schools' Football Week with a range of activities on offer for children to take part in.  One such activity involved year 3 and 4 pupils taking part in lunchtime football coaching sessions from the Football Development Scheme, something usually reserved for years' 5 and 6. 

   

  Due to the interest and enthusiasm shown by the children for such an opportunity, we invited not one but two coaches for each session. 

   

  As you can see, the children had a fantastic time and it was really good to see so many girls taking part too. .
